Trail Guy nailed some boards together for me several years ago, and I painted redwood trees on them. We got on a roll, and he pounded a few more of these panels together, but sales slowed and I moved on. We were cleaning out an area in the workshop and 2 of these appeared. I delivered one to Stem & Stone, where it adds attention-getting eye-appeal to the store front.
The other needed some reworking. It was made from fence pickets. I painted a single tree in the middle, and it looked as if someone with a vee-shaped mouth took a bite from the top. Alas, I took no photos of the previous awkwardness.
Feel like watching paint dry? Here you go:
Greatly improved.
P.S. It’s not a mural, but I did use mural paints instead of oils.

This painting is so beautiful and attention grabbing! I love seeing it come together step by step.
Thank you, Michelle! It’s reassuring to know it didn’t put you to sleep. . . watching paint go on is actually far superior to watching paint dry, but I succumbed to the cliché.
Quite an improvement, I say! The fluffy clouds are a nice touch.
Thank you, Sharon! I hope they sell because they take up too much space in the workshop.
